Why is the concept of Christ's submission to God's will important for Christians?

Answered in 1 source

Christ's submission to God's will in Gethsemane exemplifies the importance of obedience and trust in God's plan for believers.

In Gethsemane, Jesus' submission is encapsulated in His prayer, 'Nevertheless, not my will, but thine, be done' (Luke 22:42). This act of submission is crucial for Christians as it models the essence of faith in God's ultimate plan. Jesus faced unimaginable suffering yet chose to obey the Father's will over His own, illustrating for believers the path of humility and dependence on God. As disciples of Christ, we are called to emulate this trust and obedience, recognizing that God's will is paramount in our lives, even amid trials and challenges.
